A freshman student attending CU at Boulder got slashed across the neck with a knife. This disturbing article, CU Attack Suspect Ruled Incompetent for Trial, talked about the dangers in our world. This was not even on the streets hanging out this was in school! Kenton Astin was charged of murder and assault. He is waiting for his final trial. In my opinion Kenton should be imprisoned for life-time. If we let this go people will just be doing crimes just to see how much they can get a way with. At some point we have to step in! If a student is caught for cheating but the teacher just gives him a warning, then that student is going to do it again. What if this happened at our school? I am a freshman, Michael Knorps was a freshman. Should I have the fear of a senior doing this to me? Schools let so much go…They need to be stricter. I came from a private school and am now attending a public school. I like public schools better because you have more freedom, but at some point the school needs to step in and make people pay for what they did. I don’t know what caused Kenton Astin to do this to Michael Knorps but it must have been something big. Or Kenton is insane! Do people in this world not forgive each other? Or do they still believe in “eye for an eye?” For someone to have the urge to kill someone or try to they must be insane or that person must of done something absolutely horrible. Something absolutely horrible is if Michael would have killed someone that is close to Kenton. This article scares me because my sister goes to CU. I wonder if she has ever seen anything like this. Or if she is safe. I couldn’t imagine losing my sister. She is always there for me and if someone murdered her I don’t think I could live. Do you think schools are safe? Do you think school administration is strict enough? Or is Columbine going to keep re-occurring?
